It’s amazing what a little research into traditions in another country can turn up

Christmas Day is not a national holiday, and the main celebration revolves around Christmas Eve, instead. And there are a number of traditions. One is that of the Christmas cake, which apparently is quite a concoction and very difficult to make, and therefore is bought from a confectioner. Another is, thanks to the marketing brilliance of Kentucky Fried Chicken, a chicken dinner. In Japan, “Christmas Chicken” is the meat of choice for this occasion rather than ham or turkey (which is very difficult to get), as it is in the United States. KFC is very popular, and apparently people place their orders well in advance to be able to get their dinner that day. Roast teriyaki chicken has also become popular. Christmas trees and lights have become more and more widespread, though the trees are always artificial since there are no Christmas tree farms in Japan.

Yes, Christmas is not celebrated (how we know it) around the world. Different cultures celebrate different ways and different holidays!
